The Montreal Gig: Package Sent.

Matt uploaded the video to their site tonight.

I reworked my resume and created a fresh Letter of Introduction. (Only took five hours). I just uploaded them, myself.

I submitted pics 2,3 & 4 to them.

And I wrote them a nice email to the Cir que casting folks who are handling this particular project.

It is officially out of my hands, at this point. I've done all that I can to make this a reality.

One quick sidenote: I took a look at the only other actor submitting for the same role that I am. He's a younger guy. 28. A black kid. Lives on the south side of Chicago. Has a stronger vocal background than I do. But nowhere near the same amount of theater and specifically improv training that I have. He's also got about 40 lbs more weight than I do.
I looked at his stuff and thought, "Yeah, this kid is all right. I could see him in the part." I didn't have any jealousy or resentment for him. If he got it, that would be fine with me too. In short, he wasn't totally wrong for the part.

I don't know if there are other actors going out for the part. I think me and this other kid are the only two going out for it, for this coming Tuesday meeting (specifically about this character in this show.) So, that's very encouraging, statistically speaking.

Now, we play the waiting game and see what happens next. I'm going to hang out and see if I hear from them, any time soon. I'll avoid taking on new projects or new performances, between now and the New Year. If I haven't heard anything by December, I figure that I probably won't hear anything at all. Come December, if there's no word, I'll start looking around for the next big opportunity. It's out there somewhere!

(Just to be on the safe side, though, I'm getting my passport, ASAP.)

Cheers,
Mr.B
